or below 2000 ft. elevation. For operation at elevations

above 2000 ft., input ratings should be reduced at a rate

of 4 percent for each 1000 ft. above sea level.

. Installation must conform to local codes and ordinances

or, in their absence with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z22:3.1/NFPA54, or the Natural Gas and Propane

[_ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,

AND PERSONAL INJURY:

. DO NOT USEAN EXTENSIONCORDORAN ADAPTER

PLUGWITH THISAPPLIANCE.

Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance

with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence

of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL

ELECTRICALCODE,ANSI/NFPANO.70.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and

connected to u properly grounded brunch circuit,

protected by u 15- or 20- amp circuit breaker or time-

delay fuse. If electrical supply provided does not meet the

above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed

electrician install an approved outlet.

, WARNING - THIS DRYER IS

EQUIPPED A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING)

PLUG FOR 'fOUR PROTECTION AGAINST

SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED

DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED

THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT

OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM

THIS PLUG.

ENSURE PROPERGROUND EXISTSBEFORE USE.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk

of electric shock by providing u path of least resistance

of electric current. This appliance is equipped with a

cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and

a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that isproperly installed and grounded

in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARN IN G - Improper connectionofthe

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician

or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the

appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it

will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

_-I EXHAUST INFORMATION

I WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE

UNITED STATES,THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT

DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102ram). DO NOT USE DUCT

LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST

LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

Reducethe dryer life.

Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR

RESPONSIBILITYoProblems due to incorrect installation

are not covered by the warranty.

Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil

transition duct and replace with ULlisted transition duct.

The MAXIMUMALLOWABLEduct length and number of

bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of

duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall

cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct

length for rigid metal duct isshown in the table below.

RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM LENGTH

Exhaust Hood Types

Recommended

, For every extra 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent

system length by 10ft.

, Two 45°elbows will be treated likeone 90°elbow. Forthe

sideexhaust installations,add one 90°elbow tothe chart.

, The total vent system length includes all the straight

portions and elbows of the system (transition duct

included).

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST

HOOD ORWALL CAP

, Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry

of birds or other wildlife.

, Termination should present minimal resistance to

the exhaust air flow and should require little or no

maintenance to prevent clogging.

, Never install u screen in or over the exhaust duct. This

could cause lint build up.

, Wall cups must be installed at least 12 in.above ground

level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed

down.

SEPARATIONOFTURNS

For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4

ft. of straight duct, including distance between lust turn

and exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHERTHAN 90°

, One turn of 450 or less may be ignored.

, Two 450 turns should be treated us one 900 turn.

, Each turn over 450 should be treated as one 900 turn.

SEALINGOFJOINTS

, Alljoints should be tight to avoid leaks.The mule end of

each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

, Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that

extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection

point for lint.

, Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by

wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.

, Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors

1/4 inch per foot

INSULATION

Duct work that runs through an unheated urea or is

near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce

condensation and lint build-up.

P-JEXHAUST CONNECTION

, WARNING - TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

, This apliancce must be exhausted to the outdoors.

, Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust

duct.

, Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal

(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer

to the home exhaust duct. It must be installed

in accordance with the instructions found in

"Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 8 of

this manual.

, Donot terminate exhaust inu chimney, uwall, uceiling,

gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor,

or in any other concealed space of u building. The

accumulated lint could create a potential fire hazard.

, Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct

with u kitchen exhaust system. A combination of

grease and lint creates mpotential fire hazard.

, Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust

length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint,

creating u potential fire hazard.

, Never install u screen in or over the exhaust duct. This

will cause lint to accumulate, creating mpotential fire

hazard.

, Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that

extend into the duct. Thesefasteners can accumulate

lint, creating mpotential fire hazard.

, Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

, Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of

the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.

Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at

least once year.

2LEVELINGLEGS

Level and stabilizing your appliance

1. Carefully move the appliance to its final location.

Gently rock the appliance into position. It is important

not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving

your appliance to its final location. Damage legs can

increase appliance vibration. It may be helpful to

spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your

appliance to its final position.

Note: do not usewasher cover to lift the unit.

2. To ensure the appliance is level and solid on all four

legs, tilt the appliance forward so the rear legs are off

the ground. Gently set the appliance back down to

allow the rear legs to self adjust.

3.With the appliance in its final position, place a level on

top of back part of the washer lid and check it side to

side, then check front to back. Screw the front leveling

legs up or down to ensure the appliance is resting solid

on all four legs (no rocking or the appliance should

exist), turn the lock nuts on each leg up toward the base

of the unit and snug with a wrench.

Note: Keep the leg extension at minimum to prevent

excessive vibration. The farther out legs are extended, the

more the unit will vibrate.
